The change of seasons, day and night, various atmospheric phenomena and precipitation are the subject of study for the entire preschool period. To facilitate the task of observing the changes that occur in nature, the participants "" made nature calendars for their kids with their own hands. As it turned out, there can be many options for creating such a didactic manual. I am sure you will like one of them, and very soon you will have your own center for observing the weather with children in your home.

Source materials:

• Whatman sheet;
• A sheet of colored cardboard;
• Color blanks (we have these natural phenomena, time of day, and seasons);
• Magnetic tape;
• Magnets holders;
• File;
• Double-sided tape;
• Scissors;
• Glue;
• Thick thread with a needle.

Manufacturing process:

Nature calendar for kids

I made a calendar of nature on a large sheet of drawing paper. First, I developed a sketch, thought out where which elements would be located. I tried to make it as simple as possible so that my daughter could understand.

The calendar has:

• seasons;
• days of the week;
• weather;
• Times of Day.

I printed out color pictures on the printer, painted some. The days of the week are arranged in colored circles made of self-adhesive paper strictly according to the colors of the rainbow, numbered and signed. The days of the week and the time of day are located in a circle that I pasted onto hard cardboard.

The most difficult thing was to make spinning arrows, dad helped with this. The arrows themselves are made from pieces of a yogurt bottle (originally cut out of cardboard, but seemed fragile). The arrow is attached with a bolt and nuts, the nuts are screwed on both sides of the poster, for strength everything was laid with cardboard. The metal elements were sealed with white self-adhesive paper.

First, you can look at the poster, study the numbers, colors, weather, and then the daughter herself will show what the weather is like now.

Calendar - a window on the refrigerator

We will need:

• cardboard;
• colored beautiful paper;
• soft magnets;
• printed thematic pictures;
• glue.

I immediately liked the idea of ​​creating a weather calendar. The only thing was that there was no time to do something large-scale, project-based. Yes, and I wanted something small and on magnets. Therefore, I decided that it would be a window on the refrigerator. Our refrigerator is conveniently located near the window, and as a rule, it is with it that the day begins. So I thought it would be great to start not only with food, but also with observing what is now outside the window, what day of the week, in what mood we woke up and fill our window.

The window itself was made of thick cardboard. Then I decorated it with beautiful colored paper and glued a soft magnet on the back. Then I printed pictures. Decided it would be:

• Day of the month - will help us to study the numbers;
• Days of the week - in the form of wagons, so that they can be either attached to the window or collected side by side in order;
• Weather - we will look out the window and analyze what we see now;
• - help the son to better understand what he feels;
• Months - I think, it is already possible to slowly master.

And the last one is the most difficult to implement, but I really want it to be the most important event of the day. It can be put down in the morning, as an expectation of what lies ahead for us today, or in the evening, so that the son himself chooses what he remembers the most.

Until this column is filled, I need to think about which pictures to choose, most likely it will be replenished gradually, because going to the theater and buying ice cream can become an important event.
In any case, I hope filling this box will become a good tradition to start the day.

Olga Danilova and son Yura, 2.6 years old, St. Petersburg.

The calendar was made in several visits. It consists of three blocks:

• season;
• day / night (days of the week are still difficult for us to realize).

The idea was this: to make sensory seasons.

Winter- covered the sheet with heavily diluted blue gouache, then sprinkled with salt. When it dried, it turned out very beautifully, the salt crystals shimmer like snow.

Spring- first they picked napkins, then soaked them in a solution (water + green gouache + PVA). I glued it to the sheet. After drying, the child applied flowers with his finger - yellow, blue, red.

Summer- the butterfly was painted with fingers.

Autumn- first, the child drew falling leaves with a finger, then glued the sticks in the form of trees.

Rain painted with fingers. I cut out the snowflake. The sun from clothespins (there is another modification of it on cardboard). The cloud was cut out of a sponge. Night - stars were drawn on the cream lid with a finger.

Seasons are constantly placed, the rest is inserted into transparent pockets. We will study the weather outside and the time of day.

Alla Shuvalova and daughter Lenochka, 11 months old, Samara.

Tired of the mess in the nursery? Tired of endlessly collecting toys for the child?

Calendar - poster on self-adhesive film

I wanted to make a functional, useful thing for my daughter, but at the same time, so that it would be interesting to her, understandable, meet her interests and age appropriate. So it didn't load too much. Since my daughter loves to draw, it was decided to allocate a special place for this: she painted a tree (apple tree). Then we will draw color, leaves, apples. In general, what we will observe in nature.

Made the main natural phenomena in the form of Velcro toys:

• the sun from the threads of floss. Crocheted a cardboard circle;
• a synthetic winterizer served as a filler for the cloud;
• a cloud with rain is filled with millet - "rain";
• I wove a snowflake from beads (you can find many patterns on the Internet).

The entire poster was sealed with a self-adhesive film, due to which it achieved multifunctionality.

The apple tree turned out to be of the “draw-erase” type, cards can be glued to the rest of the area with adhesive tape or on the same film: signs of spring, other natural phenomena (rainbow, fog, thunderstorm, etc.). I pasted short poems for myself about the cloud, the sun, spring, and it turned out to be little cheat sheets.

Katerina Efremova and daughter Olya 1 year 3 months

The whole family undertook to make a weather calendar: mom cut it out, daughter glued it, and dad assembled the whole structure! For our age, we decided that it would be enough to determine the weather according to the following parameters: the sun is shining, cloudy weather, it is snowing or raining. Over time, the calendar will be supplemented with other criteria. In the meantime, before going for a morning walk, Alena and I look out the window and say what kind of weather is outside our window, and then we go to the weather calendar and hide either the sun, or clouds, or snow, or rain behind its window.

We needed:

Manufacturing process:

1. Blanks of colored paper were glued onto a large sheet of cardboard (a circle and rays for the sun, clouds, snowflakes were made using a figured hole punch, raindrops).
2. A window was cut out of a small cardboard, on one side of which a thin cocktail tube was glued.
3. They pulled a fishing line in the center of the calendar, inserted it into the window with a straw. Smaller pieces of the tube were glued along the edges of the wrong side of the calendar, a fishing line was inserted into them and its ends were tied in the middle of the wrong side.

Thus, the window easily moves from one end of the calendar of nature to the other and can both rise to the top row and fall to the bottom.

Salimova Olga and daughter Alena, 2 years old, 2 months old, Yekaterinburg.

My daughter and I already had a calendar indicating the seasons that we made together: we cut out a cardboard circle, divided it into 4 parts, in each of which we drew a tree (covered with snow, blooming and flowering, with a bright green crown and yellow-red ).

After that, I glued our “Dial of the Seasons” onto an A3 sheet, signed and supplemented it with a sheet with the name of the season and months (a colored paper clip acts as an index here), as well as a pocket where we show the number.

Now it's the turn of the weather calendar. We made another round scoreboard with an arrow pointer. They came up with symbols, drew and attached a new scoreboard and an arrow to the already existing calendar with a button.

It turned out much easier and faster than I expected, seeing similar calendars!

Kudryashova Nadezhda and children Anya (4.4 years old) and Misha (1.2 years old), St. Petersburg.

Here is our version of a simple weather calendar. Printed the days of the week, time of day and time of year. On a separate sheet, they drew a circle with months and decorated it, added the seasons to it and divided it into sectors.

They hung it on a magnetic board, and with the help of magnets, the daughter sets the desired value. And in the date and weather column writes the corresponding values. Here we have such a mobile board. The most interesting thing is that the daughter can show her imagination and draw the weather as she herself feels. This is mini art - therapy is obtained.

Trukhacheva Maria and daughter Vasilisa, 6 years old

I really liked the idea of ​​a do-it-yourself weather calendar, since my son and I have already begun to learn such concepts as seasons, weather, precipitation.

To begin with, I took a base sheet of A3 watercolor paper, pasted over it with colored paper, with the image of clouds. The main theme of the calendar, I took exactly the concept of seasons and the fact that each season has 3 months.

I found these pictures, made one corner rounded and glued it to the main sheet. Then I wrote down the names of the months. I plan to hang the calendar on the refrigerator, next to the window, so that my son and I can look in there and see what the weather is like now.

On the left, I drew a scale with types of precipitation, opposite which you can put a magnet. I signed the calendar and made an arrow to determine the month. Here is the calendar!

It is clearly visible: it is now spring, the month of March, it is snowing outside. The son has already examined it and it seems to me that he liked the calendar.

I printed color pictures from the Internet on self-adhesive paper, pasted them with wide adhesive tape and placed them on the base.

three circles: change of seasons, parts of the day, various atmospheric phenomena and precipitation. I placed spinning arrows in the center of each circle.

A train with wagons indicates the days of the week, where by moving the Hedgehog in the wagons, you can specify the day of the week.

Pictures of trees and children correspond to seasonal changes.

Each of the pictures is attached to the base with a magnet, which allows you to change them according to the seasons.

Svetlana Baboshina

Good day, dear colleagues, friends, guests of my page! I present to your attention a master class on making a calendar of nature with your own hands. After the renovation, I had a few ceiling tiles left, and I decided to put them to good use in my work with children. I made a calendar of nature in the form of a folder - a screen.

For work I needed:

1. ceiling tiles (laminated);

4. dense files (A-4 format);

5. double tape;

6. printed pictures;

7. stationery knife;

8. adhesive for ceiling tiles.

Let's get to work:

Stage 1.

With the mode at the ceiling tiles, all corners with a clerical knife.

Stage 2.

On the sides of the tile with an awl, we will make holes for further assembly of the product. We make them evenly on all sides.

Stage 3.

We fasten the tiles with a decorative cord or satin ribbon. We take 2 laces and pass them through the holes, we begin to weave (lacing). We tie the ends of the lace with a bow on the back of the folder.

Stage 4.

We decorate with a cord 2 sides of our folder - a screen. Processing the edges of the folder is even easier, wrap it with braid (as we sew with a needle over the edge). Glue the ends to the tile on the reverse side.

Stage 5

Using double tape, we fix the files - pockets on our tile. We glue all other elements with special glue for ceiling tiles.

Folder - weather calendar screen is ready!

In my folder - a screen (calendar of nature) - 3 sections:

1. We watch the weather. For younger children, you can glue the board to draw with a marker. Mark the weather with a marker, first with the help of a teacher, and then on your own. You can insert a landscape sheet with markings by day into a transparent file. Older children will mark the weather with the help of conventional symbols. This is very convenient - you can follow the weather for a certain period of time, followed by a comparison of the weather.

2. seasonal picture, with the time of year.

3. Birdwatching on site.

Here are pictures of birds. Next to the bird is a colored circle that corresponds to this particular bird. At the bottom of our tile is a transparent pocket. It contains small pieces of white paper with an outline of circles. Children mark on them the birds that they saw on a walk (paint over the circles with a certain color). Younger children do this with the help of a teacher.

You can supplement the calendar of nature with other sections.

For example: monitor plantings in the garden (in a group and on the street, displaying this on paper, and then inserting it into a pocket - a file. The entire path of growth and development of the plant will be traced here.

A folder - a screen can be placed in a corner of nature, put on a windowsill or in another place, or simply folded.

So that you can always see the calendar in front of you, attach it to the base. To make the base, you will need several sheets, preferably cardboard. Cut out three rectangles from paper, two of them should be the same in length and width. And one needs to be made half as wide in width - this will be the bottom of the base. Next, you'll need to glue all of these pieces together to form the base that you'll attach your desk calendar to.

Put all the leaves and postcards with the months in a box. Leaflets should be arranged by date, each month is highlighted by a postcard.

Calendar with photos

Choose your photos, prepare leaflets, colored cardboard, fasteners - glue, adhesive tape, colored paper, ribbon (satin ribbon is most suitable). Instead of photos, you can take any pictures, such as images from movies, landscapes, etc.

Progress:

• Photos should be the same size, you should take care of this at the very beginning.
• Prepare paper sheets of a suitable size on which you can stick your photos. Do this with glue or tape.

Wall calendar - glider

If you want to make a calendar that will remind you of important things or events, then try making this option. Take a large sheet - drawing paper, draw 12 sectors or 31 squares there.

Draw borders on it, you should get 7 columns and 5 rows. This must be done with ribbons. Where the lines intersect, attach pretty pins. On the reverse side of the ribbon can be fixed with wire cutters.

You will need colored paper or cardboard, from which you need to make squares with numbers corresponding to the days of the week. Attach them with double tape to each cell. The names of the month can also be prepared from colored paper and pasted on. Now you can write about any events and reminders on stickers and stick them on the date you need.

perpetual calendar

You can make a perpetual calendar out of any solid material, such as plywood or cardboard, or preferably wood. It will serve you faithfully for many years. In the base-box of such a calendar there is a pair of cubes, where the days of the week and a block with months are marked. A minimum set of numbers from 0 to 5 is applied to one die.

On the second die, the numbers from 0 to 9 are applied, the number 9 is not applied, since the number 6 may well play its role. The names of the months are applied on the faces of three long bars.

If you want to make such a calendar out of wood, then you need to prepare tools such as a saw, cutter, jigsaw to work with them on wood. We cut out cubes and sticks. With sandpaper, you need to sand your wooden blanks.

The inscriptions on the cubes of the bars are applied in various ways. If you are confident in your drawing skills, you can do it by hand with a brush and paint.

If not, then make a template that you can outline. You can also apply numbers using a burning machine, wood cutters, or simply stick buttons with numbers. You can oil your wood blanks to give them a more attractive appearance.

The case for the calendar is made from pieces of plywood. The back wall should correspond to the entire length of the construction of cubes and bars. The size of the side wall should correspond to the width of the cube and the width of the back wall, the height of the cube and the thickness of the bar. All cubes and bars should be placed at the bottom.

The design can be fixed with joiner's nails or glue. The case can be decorated to make it look more attractive by painting it with paint or sticking various images.

Such a calendar will not gather dust somewhere in the back of the closet, it will faithfully serve a person, as well as decorate the room.

simple wall calendar

There is the easiest option to make a calendar with your own hands, on which you can practice to get started. Take a simple sheet of paper and cardboard and draw on it by hand 7 columns, 5 lines. The lines should be absolutely even with the same gaps. Sign the columns and lines with the days of the week, months.

Decorate your calendar with drawings or stickers. A color palette or stickers will help you with this. You can highlight important dates somehow in a special way by sticking some small accessory or picture on them. For example, on the date of the New Year you can stick a snowflake or a Christmas tree, on a birthday - a flower. If it's your sister's birthday, put a small photo of her on that date. Fold the sheets, make a hole, translate with twine or ribbon and hang on the wall.

If you like to draw and do it well, then just paint a piece of drawing paper, having first drawn it and made the necessary notes. You can hang a wall calendar on a carnation or hook, which must first be placed on the wall.

Show your imagination and create various versions of calendars yourself. You can present your crafts to your loved ones, especially on such a holiday as the New Year. This will be a great sign of attention, and they will be happy to receive such a wonderful gift from you.
